http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/2020/01/the-rationalistempiricist-false-choice.html this is F I R E

Most underrated philosopher of our time. His Aristotle's Revenge is a bomb, and his blogs is full of amazing insights.

Tips: google "feser roundup" for summaries of his articles.

His debate with Oppy is very good: https://youtu.be/XoVDutpB4Cw (when u get to the technical difficulties, skip to 19:04)

>But then the history of scientific revolutions and Kuhnian points about the social nature of science raise questions about how objective such a metaphysics can be.
>which Scholasticism somehow doesn’t do, despite that its end conclusion is always ‘god dun did it’, almost as if it cannot allow any other conclusion than this one
Wait, this is the big philosophical messiah of Christianity? What an embarrassment

I read parts of his book which attempted to be an exposition of neo-Aristotelian philosophy of nature, but it just ended being a mine of quotes from standard readings in philosophy of science courses

It never ceases to amuse me that bugmen continue to represent Nietzsche. That's not to say that Feser isn't also a bug, but the modern last man has basically infested even Nietzsche's own "legacy" if you can even call it that

Aristotle's Revenge, he basically gathers a few quotes from papers on structural realism and a few other authors like Cartwright iirc

Are you sure we read the same book? I randomly picked a page for you, every other page is just filled with the quotes of other people. Oh, and he literally named one of his chapters after Cartwright's famous book "How the Laws of Physics Lie"

It's a synthesis of neo-aristotelian works you retard, but the book is much more than a bunch of quotes
